The input and output connections are independent. You may—for example—use a mono input with stereo outputs or stereo inputs with a stereo TRS output.

CONNECTIONS

We recommend that this pedal be placed at the end of your chain, after all other eects. If you are using the overdrive channel of your ampliﬁer, this eect should be placed in the eects loop for best results.

The POWER JACK accepts a standard (5.5 mm OD x 2.1 mm ID) center-negative pedal power adapter (not included). The power adapter must be between 9 V and 12 V and capable of supplying 70 mA or more.

The INPUT JACKS (right side) accept inputs directly from your instrument, ampliﬁer eects loop output, or other eect pedals via standard 1/4” (6.35 mm) phone connectors.

• Input 1 only accepts a mono input.

• Both Inputs 1 & 2 accept a stereo input.

• Input 2 only accepts a stereo TRS input.

Important Note: input/output 1 and input/output 2 should not be used with two discrete signals (such as two dierent instruments).

The FOOT SWITCH bypasses the eect. The LED lights when the eect is active. Bypassing the eect does not lower power consumption, because it does not turn o power to the pedal.

The Immerse Reverberator implements a high-quality buered bypass. The signal is always buered whether on or bypassed. We chose this type of bypass because the last output in a pedal chain should be buered, and reverb is typically placed at the end of a pedal chain.

The OUTPUT JACKS (left side) supply output to another eect pedal, an ampliﬁer, or eects loop return via standard 1/4” (6.35 mm) phone connectors. The buered output is capable of driving long cables. If plugging into the input of an amp, you should use the low impedance (Lo-Z) input if available.

• Output 1 only supplies a summed mono output.

• Both Outputs 1 & 2 supply a stereo output. Using both outputs creates a stereo signal from a mono input.

• Output 2 only supplies a stereo TRS output.

The KILL DRY switch removes the dry signal, leaving only the “wet” (eect) signal. This should be enabled for parallel eect loops, and disabled for serial (common) eect loops.

The TRAILS switch changes the bypass mode between normal and trails. Trails allows the eect to naturally trail o after the pedal is bypassed. With normal bypassing, the eect is abruptly cut o; however, normal bypassing results in lower noise while the pedal is bypassed.

EFFECTS

Reverberation (“reverb”) gives your instrument a sense of acoustic spaciousness. There have been various methods of simulating this eect over the years, several of which have evolved into their own distinct sounds.

WET™

WET™ is an updated version of Neunaber’s renowned algorithm, with shorter pre-delay, higher initial density and more balanced imaging. (See suggested settings below.)

HALL

Hall reverb is known for its large, open sound—similar to what one may ﬁnd in a well-designed concert hall.

PLATE

A physical plate reverb uses transducers mounted to a large, suspended metal plate. It is known for its bright, diused sound.

A physical spring reverb uses metal springs suspended between transducers and produces a distinctive initial “twerp.”

+ECHO

The +echo eect combines the Wet™ Reverb with an echo eect.

+DETUNE

The +detune eect combines the Wet™ Reverb with detune, which is a chorusing-like eect that adds in a slightly detuned double of the dry signal.
